This area is described on the Disneyland website in the
following manner: “See the world from a bug's perspective in this
playful land full of insect-sized surprises based on the
Disney·Pixar film, a bug's life!” Only Tuck and Roll’s Drive
‘em Buggies has a height requirement of 36” the rest have no height
restrictions.

Before we take a final ride on all these attractions,
here are five fast facts about A Bug’s Land.

1. The area’s anchor attraction, It’s Tough To Be a Bug
was a Disney California Adventure opening day attraction, but the
rest of the rides opened in an area known as Flick’s Fun Fair in
the newly names area A Bug’s Land on October 7, 2002.

2. The storyline behind A Bugs Land is the bugs built
the A Bugs Land attractions when they saw Disney California
Adventure being built next to them. The imagineers discovered the
bug theme attractions while building The Twilight Zone Tower of
Terror and then opened the land to all.

3. Several of the voice actors from A Bug’s Life
provided their voices for attractions in A Bug’s Land including
Dave Foley as Flick and Joe Ranft as Heimlich.

4. On
March 20, 2018, Disney announced that A Bug’s Land would close to
make way for a new Marvel Themed Land opening in 2020. The rides featured on today’s
episode closed on September 5, 2018.

5.
While not totally confirmed, so therefore not really a fact, it is
assumed that Flick’s Fliers will be moved over to Pixar Pier when A
Bug;s Land closes.
The attraction will be retimed to the Disney Pixar movie Inside Out
for an attraction called the Emotional Whirlwind.

Now it’s time to bid farewell to A Bug’s Land with a
ride of four of it’s different attractions. Along for the adventure today
is Suzie, but John B. deHaas also took one last ride on Heimlich’s
Chew Chew Train so that attraction will feature two
reviews! These are
binaural recordings so put on your headphones as we head to Disney
California Adventure to say goodbye to A Bug’s Land.
